So how do you prevent this solecism? The culprit the compound construction. Say the sentence without the compound. Then the wrong way
sounds
wrong. So: “Let
me
deal with your son’s abduction.”

Now I think I’ll go see what happened to that son.

I frequently use the word “solecism,” meaning a mistake in grammar. It’s one of my favorite words (harrumpf). I also read

, written by Anu Garg. The word of the day a while back was “solecism.” Here’s the article. He includes a link to an audible pronunciation of the word, and an inspiring quote at the bottom. I left both of those out to help motivate you to click the

solecism (SOL-i-siz-ehm, SO-li-) noun

1. A grammatical mistake or a nonstandard usage.

2. A breach of etiquette.

3. An error, inconsistency, or impropriety.

[From Latin soloecismus, from Greek soloikismos, from soloikos (speaking incorrectly; literally, inhabitant of Soloi) after Soloi, an ancient Athenian colony in Cilicia where a dialect considered as substandard was spoken.]

“`Ah! Madam,’ said Ovid, `how great a solecism would it be both in a lover and a poet if he did not look upon his mistress as the sublimest object of his thoughts!’ Benjamin Boyce and Thomas Brown; The Adventures of Lindamira: A Lady of Quality; The University of Minnesota Press; 1949.

“But the AAUP’s (Association of American University Presses) guidelines go beyond correcting what it regards as solecisms to more drastic exercises in raising consciousness. Consider the traditional personification of ships as feminine. According to the AAUP task force, such usage is `quaint at best’ and should be avoided: `it’ is preferred. Along the same literalist lines, you should think twice before describing an important work by a woman scholar as `seminal’. Speech Therapy; The Economist (London); Jun 3, 1995.

The 2.9-liter biturbo V6 engine generates 444 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque, a significant 126 lb-ft more than the previous generation. Along with the RS sport exhaust with its inimitable sound and driver-controllable exhaust flaps, the RS 5 Coupe is a powerful drive for the senses.

The Audi RS 5 Coupe features quattro® all-wheel drive technology. The system has an asymmetric torque split that can intuitively send power to where it’s needed, helping enhance performance and traction as road conditions demand. With the quattro® sport rear differential, torque is actively distributed between the rear wheels, helping propel around curves and imparting the feel of a rear-wheel drive but with all-wheel drive grip.

The RS 5 Coupe features an RS-fixed suspension that allows for both a sporty driving experience and comfortable ride for long distances. To further enhance the track-ability and performance, the available Dynamic package includes RS suspension with DRC® — Dynamic Ride Control, which utilizes diagonally connected shocks to help reduce lateral body roll and help improve handling and connection to the road.

On the road, shifts happen. Constantly moving vehicles, traffic and obstacles. The available Audi suite of advanced driver assistance technologies can help alert you to some of the unpredictable shifts that come your way.

Audi Sport® is evident from every angle of the all-new RS 5 Coupe. With the iconic RS wide body design set off by distinctive racing details like honeycomb air intakes, there’s no mistaking its performance capabilities.

The available Audi virtual cockpit is a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument display that allows the driver to customize information such as navigation and audio, offering Classic and Infotainment modes as well as Google Earth™. The RS 5 Coupe has a third option: Sport mode, which displays a large, central tachometer and performance statistics, such as a lap timer, horsepower and torque gauge, G-meter, and if equipped with the Dynamic plus package, tire pressures and temperatures.

Available MMI® touch with handwriting-recognition technology allows the driver to “write” their entry rather than selecting letters or numbers and more easily navigate maps by moving a finger across the touchpad.

Quick Info

Artificial emotional intelligence or Emotion AI is also known as emotion recognition or emotion detection technology. In market research, this is commonly referred to as facial coding.

Humans use a lot of non-verbal cues, such as facial expressions, gesture, body language and tone of voice, to communicate their emotions. Our vision is to develop Emotion AI that can detect emotion just the way humans do, from multiple channels. Our long term goal is to develop “MultimodalEmotion AI”, that combines analysis of both face and speech as complementary signals to provide richerinsightinto the humanexpression of emotion. For several years now, Affectiva has been offering industry leading technology for the analysis of facial expressions of emotions. Most recently, Affectiva has added speech capabilities now available to select beta testers (

).

Our Emotion AI unobtrusively measures unfiltered and unbiased facial expressions of emotion, using any optical sensor or just a standard webcam. Our technology first identifies a human face in real time or in an image or video. Computer vision algorithms identify key landmarks on the face – for example, the corners of your eyebrows, the tip of your nose, the corners of your mouth. Deep learning algorithms then analyze pixels in those regions to classify facial expressions. Combinations of these facial expressions are then mapped to emotions.

In our products, we measure 7 emotion metrics: anger, contempt, disgust, fear, joy, sadness and surprise. In addition, weprovide 20 facial expression metrics. Inour
SDK and API
we also provide emojis, gender, age, ethnicity and a number of other metrics. Learn more about our metrics .

Our speech capability analyzes not what is said, but how it is said, observing changes in speech paralinguistics, tone, loudness, tempo, and voice quality to distinguish speech events, emotions, and gender.The underlying low latency approach is key to enabling the development of real-time emotion-aware apps and devices.

Our first speech based product is a
nike free 30 v4 mens review
that analyzes a pre-recorded audio segment, such as an MP3 file. The output fileprovides the analysis on speech events occurringin the audio segment every few hundred milliseconds and not just at the end of the entire utterance. An Emotion SDK that analyzes speech in real-time will be available in the near future.
